Rochard Mahjong Set Porcelain Limoges Box Figurine

The click of tiles and the call of "Pung!" belong to one of the oldest table games in the world, and here a mahjong set becomes a small porcelain treasure. This Rochard Limoges box was shaped and hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Bams, Cracks and Dots

Mahjong began in China and spread around the globe in the twentieth century, gathering devoted weekly groups in living rooms and clubhouses everywhere. Rochard turned that familiar set into a lidded box, so the game that fills so many afternoons can sit quietly on a shelf between rounds.

A Thank You to the Table

Present it to the friend who hosts the weekly game, the player who finally taught you the Charleston, or the group captain at the end of a tournament season. It looks right beside a tile rack in a card room, on a den bookcase, or in a curio cabinet with other hobby boxes. Longtime players tend to pick it up and turn it over, which makes it a natural conversation piece on game night.
